[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 1092363, member: 927"] First of all, I think drivers are worth every penny and should remain well paid and the highest paid in the industry. I hope (and fully expect) a contract that both sides agree to. But.... People here can rattle sabres about a strike all you like. Its no different than an ignorant manager talking about firing employees over stupid issues. Here are a few facts...... In 2001, FedEx ground delivered 1.5 million packages per day. They now deliver over 4 million packages per day. That is 2.5 million additional packages. That's 267% more than 2001. In 2001 UPS ground (U.S) delivered 10.3 million packages per day. Now it is 11 million packages per day. That's 700 thousand additional packages. That's 6.7% more than 2001. Fedex has grown their ground business by 1.8 millon packages per day more than UPS has in the same time period. How many union jobs have been lost? By the way, in 2001 there were 16 millon union members in the united states. Now there are 14.4 million union members. A loss of 1.6 million union members. I'm sure that representatives from UPS and the Teamsters understand the situation. Both sides know what's at stake. Best of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
